38. He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me, isn’t worthy of me.
39. He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
40. He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
41. He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
42. Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward.”
